UBPN Virtual 5K for Awareness week and Camp fundraising
Richard Looby
United Brachial Plexus Network's first annual BPI Tears Up Nerves Virtual 5k Run/Walk was a rounding success with 62 runners and others donating to the cause. The goal of this Run/Walk was to bring awareness to the public about life-altering brachial plexus injuries while raising funds to support UBPN Camp 2021. UBPN Camp 2021 is a 4 day, 3-night informational gathering for people affected by brachial plexus injuries and their families. Through fundraisers like this, UBPN is able to have all people with a brachial plexus injury attend camp without paying for room and board.
